Mary Ann Smith

After 30 years of Multiple Sclerosis and all the debilitating effects, Mary Ann found relief on March 6, 2014. So many people in Tampa, Fort Walton Beach and Shreveport helped her through her journey. Through all her pain, Mary Ann always said "I'm sorry", "thank you" and "take care". Special thanks to the wonderful nurses and aids of Household B at The Glen for the past 7 years of care, and Steve Rider who brought her communion every week. Mary Ann is survived by her mother, Edna Marcinko, sister and brother-in-law, Jo Ann and Reid Williams, and nephew, Sam Williams. Also her cousins and their families: James McParland in New Jersey, Paul McParland in Georgia, Carol Ann Jesberger and Raymond Jesberger in California. Mary Ann will miss the unconditional love of her favorite fat cat at The Glen, Manfred, who spent countless hours on her bed. Oreo the cat predeceased her and is waiting to snuggle on her feet again. Mary Ann will return to Fort Walton Beach for burial. Memorials may be made to the St Vincent dePaul Society at St Elizabeth Ann Seton or The Glen for the care of her beloved cats.
